The further the music develops, the more complex the apparatus used by the composer to express his thoughts becomes.

The impressions of the spriritual experiences gave my future life its form and content.

The spirit can assert itself only through the medium of clear form.

To judge a composer's work, one must consider it as a whole.

What I wanted and what I visualized while composing has not always been realized.

When I have reached a summit, I leave it with great reluctance, unless it is to reach for another, higher one.

You must renounce all superficiality, all convention, all vanity and delusion.

I also had a brother who was like me a musician and a composer. A man of great talent, far more gifted than I. He died very young... he killed himself in the prime of his life.

But it's peculiar, as soon as I am in the midst of nature and by myself, everything that is base and trivial vanishes without trace. On such days nothing scares me; and this helps me again and again.

Even if people censure me, they should do so hat in hand.

Gustav Mahler 106 quotes

For the last month I have been a strict vegetarian. The moral effects of this regime are immense, owing to the voluntary subjugation of the flesh and the resulting absence of desires. You will appreciate how full I am of this idea when I tell you that I expect it to work the regeneration of mankind. I advise you to change over to a natural way of life, with proper nourishment (wholemeal bread), and you will soon feel the benefit.

It is strange how one feels drawn forward without knowing at first where one is going.

It is easier to achieve a desired result in short pieces.

I don't let myself get carried away by my own ideas; I abandon 19 out of 20 of them every day.

My time will come, that is: after the finish of the recurring song cycles
